Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Chapter 232

Although Xu's and Cui Senyi's troubles occurred in Yunnan, there is no impermeable wall in the officialdom, and the news may not be long before it will be sent back to Beijing.

He has become a family and established a business. After the major events in his life, he is not afraid of getting tired from rumors, but there is still a girl in the family who is waiting to be kissed. It is the most famous time. If the scandal in Yunnan spreads to Beijing, it will be so exhausting that Sister Yun will be looked down upon, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to provoke a good marriage.

He frowned and thought for a while, and first instructed the person who came to report the news: "You have been working **** this journey. You went to the tent and paid the salary and rewards for the past few months. You will go back and rest for two days before going to work. Remember to ask Those who come back with you are not allowed to spread this out, otherwise I will deal with it seriously-do you know my temper?"

The family nearly bowed their body into a shrimp, vowing to every day: "The little ones are all closed as if their mouths are closed, and they will never tell the story!"

Cui Xie nodded, the solemn expression on his face was not restrained, and he turned and went to the yard where Sister Yun lived, calling out the younger sister.

Sister Yun is now in charge of internal affairs at home, and she was once a good friend of the queen's maidens, and has been rewarded a few times in the palace. She is now called Cui Xie, who is exquisite and broad-minded. She has a good etiquette and politeness when meeting people, and she is not much worse than the ladies in the Gonghou Mansion.

It's just that he is still a little younger. In Cui Xie's opinion, it would be better if he could wait for another two years to get married.

But Cui Senyi and Xu had a trouble in Yunnan. One day the news came back to Beijing, and the people in Jingli would find out about Xu's crimes, and his sister would not be able to get married. If you want to keep the impact of this matter to a minimum, you can only rush to marry your younger sister. Any scandal in your natal family in the future will not affect the reputation of the married girl.

He looked at his sister, sighed deeply, and sighed that the little girl thought that something was wrong with him, so she looked down and gave him a blessing: "What's wrong with the brother calling his sister?"

There was another shame at home...

This kind of matter was kept from outsiders and family members, so he told Sister Yun without reservation, and asked her: "I'm afraid this matter will be spread to Beijing before long. I want to take advantage of the fact that outsiders don't know it. Get your marriage done. What do you think?"

If the younger sister really doesn't want to marry so early, then wait another three to five years, and when there is enough noise over there, the people in Jingli will forget about the Cui family's guilty couple.

Sister Yun flushed his face because she was so straightforward, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's all up to my brother."

This answer feels like a TV series... That is to say yes!

Sister Yun's marriage was decided, and he had to tell Cui Heng the news-it was his biological mother who slapped his father's face in Yunnan. If this matter goes back to Beijing, it will have the greatest impact on him, so he must be told.

He called Cui Heng into the yard during the night, and repeated what the family had said, so that he should be prepared and not be affected by rumors.

After hearing this, Cui Heng was stupid, his eyes flushed red, and he clenched his fists and said: "How can she, how can she be like this, how can she be a concubine! Why doesn't she come back! How can she...I can Raise her, I think about raising her after I think about it, why she doesn’t want me anymore, don’t care about me..."

After all, he was not a stoic person, he cried into his elder brother's arms as he said, rubbing the snot and tears on Cui Xie's chest.

Cui Xie didn’t understand the self-esteem of his young man. He pushed him to the bed, holding his chin, and said, “Ms. Xu is no longer your aunt. She was abandoned by her father a long time ago. She is free and wants to marry. People can naturally marry."

"You..." Cui Heng was stunned by his deviant remarks, and he wanted to ask him if he would like to see Ms. Xu married, he would like to see him ashamed and become a person that his parents don't want.

Cui Xie held him with one hand, and said coldly: "Ms. Xu once framed me. I have reason to blame her, but how can you blame her for marrying someone outside? She can be her father, can't she return to Beijing? Come trouble us? She is willing to marry in a remote place in Yunnan, except for her father's refusal to accept her back home, she has grudges, most of it is for you——

"If you have such a criminally deprived mother by your side, your reputation will be dusty and difficult to gain fame. And if she is far away, she will not come back forever, you will have no relationship with her, and her reputation will not affect you. This is her decision for you. You should also understand and be considerate. Don't ask her to work hard."

Cui Heng told him to hold down and persuade him for a long time, and finally understood Xu's true intentions, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Cui Xie is not a psychologist either. He doesn't care about the blow to his mind. He just patted his back and said, "This is an adult's business. You are still young, so don't think about it. From now on, if you really miss Lady Xu," You can also go see her, but don't bother her too much. After all, she is a member of someone else's family in terms of etiquette. Although you and her are mothers and children, you have to consider her husband's family."

After confessing that he understood Cui Heng, he went back to the study to find the information of his future sister-in-law, whom he had chosen by thousands of choices a few days ago, and then busy with sister Yun's marriage.

Most of the candidates he chooses are locals from Beijing, and it will be easier for him to live closer if he gets married in the future so that his natal family can take care of them. Some of the fathers and brothers of these young people were his classmates in the Imperial College, some were in the same year as he was a member of the Imperial Examination and Jinshi, and three Qian'an talented young talents recommended by fellow villagers are reliable people.

Sister Yun was too embarrassed to choose, so he showed the old lady and Mr. Song the information collected these days, and asked them to help pick people.

Most of Mr. Song's picks are the children of scholars. The old lady intentionally wants to marry her granddaughter back to her hometown, but she feels that Beijing is close and her elder brother can take care of her, so she hesitates. The two of them turned through the pile of modern resume-like documents, picking them up for a few days, and finally only picked up five people who agreed to return to Cui Xie.

He looked at his name and family background one by one, flicked the paper, and said with a smile: "These people have good family backgrounds, and they are all Confucian scholars who can read. They just want to get married. My temperament is even more important. I'll go to thank Master. Help check their temperament and personality, and choose a reliable one for Sister Yun."

Pick one... The bad thing about the couple is passed back to Jingli, and you won't look down upon Sister Yun's family because of this.

The sister-in-law and nephew of Master Xie's family finally entered Beijing at the end of this spring and occupied the original Xie Mansion. Xie Ying moved to the garden two blocks away from Cui's house, which made it more convenient to come and go. The family he used to be used to didn't bring over much. Even an old steward who had watched him grow up from a young age also ran away and occasionally came to look after him, focusing mainly on taking care of the new wife and young master.

When Cui Xie passed by, just in time for the old steward to come and report to Xie Bin about entering the martial arts.

But the big thing happened to Cui Hanlin, and it had to be delayed. Xie Ying asked the old Guan to stay in the guest house in advance, arrange for someone to bring refreshments up, and personally entertain Cui Hanlin.

He is in Zhenfusi, where news is transmitted the fastest in this country, before Cui Xie knew about his parents. When I saw him, I was a little bit hesitant to talk, some reluctant to taint his ears with these filthy things, but I was afraid that the later he knew, the more passive he would become more passive. After careful consideration, he said with pity: "I heard that my father is in Yunnan. I'm getting into something, I'm afraid he won't make a good official statement..."

Not only the official voice is not good, but also their family voice. Cui Xie smiled bitterly: "I know all about this. I'm looking for my elder brother now, just because I'm afraid that the matter will be passed back to Beijing, and it will prevent my sister-in-law from getting married. I want to choose a responsible husband for her as soon as possible. "

He hadn't been polite to Xie Ying a long time ago, and forwarded the profile of the characters selected by his grandmother and female husband, and said: "Please ask my elder brother to help me look up these people's temperaments and preferences, so I can ask someone to be a matchmaker."

If Mr. Li is not filial, it is most appropriate to ask Mrs. Zhu to help introduce him. It's a pity that Mrs. Zhu can't mix up such a happy event, so he has to do it himself, and ask Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe or Wang Zhuangyuan to be the matchmaker.

With his elder brother and senior officials from the Imperial Academy as a matchmaker, it is estimated that Sister Yun will be able to add some points to the marriage market.

Xie Ying walked to him, held him in her arms, stroked the back of his head and whispered: "What else are you talking about between you and me? Isn't your sister my sister? The younger sister should be suitable, let's be the brother Naturally, I have to choose the best one for her. I'm still going to add makeup to her."

Cui Xie raised his arm around his waist, buried his face in the slippery silk shirt, felt his body temperature through the thin summer clothes, and showed a tired smile: "When I marry my sister, I will also have I want to give you a big gift, guaranteed to be an interesting thing you have never seen before."

Xie Ying smiled and said, "Even you are given to me. What gift do I need? You are busy with official duties these days, and you have to manage the marriage of young girls to see if they are all thinner. If you have time, don't worry about big gifts. I'm going to have a good night's sleep."

It's time to go to bed, but instead of going home, I borrowed the yard of Xie's house to talk to Brother Xie about his sister's marriage in the evening.

Cui Xiuzhuan held his hands tighter, half-closed his eyes and said, "Sister Yun’s marriage cannot be settled in one day. How can I sleep peacefully as the elder brother? Brother Xie and I share a good relationship with each other. Naturally, I have to take care of my family affairs as my own. Tonight, tell me about the talented children in Beijing who are worthy of sister-in-law?"

Xie Zhen was anxious about what Cui Hanlin was worried about, so he stayed with him all night and helped him find out which son-in-law is suitable to be his sister-in-law.

The old manager of the Xie family also listened to a few words. He couldn't hear him completely. Afterwards, he asked him quietly, "Could Lord Cui want to marry his sister to the lord? Then you should marry him! You have the same temperament as his uncle, look at Cui With the appearance of an adult, his younger sister must also be a stunning beauty, and worthy of a hero like the Lord! You have to repay the Three Elders' family, and then you can give more support to Young Master Xietang, can you really not marry him for the rest of your life? "

No, not for him. Now it is for your uncle in your heart not to marry.

Xie Ying lowered her head and smiled, and said: "The Cui family is a scholar, how can he marry his daughter to a military household? He picked out a few men who are sister-in-laws and asked me to help him check the man's behavior and character. . In the future, our family will not mention my marriage again, lest their mother and son will hear it."

The old steward felt uncomfortable for him, and sighed and said, "You good men, why don't you have a bad fate, because your family members can't get married? That's it... Well, it's not that my old man is not kind. Cui Hanlin lives alone with you, it's better than everyone has a family and you are alone."

Xie Ying remained silent, and went back to study the future sister-in-laws picked out by Cui Xie.

He himself was inconvenient to investigate in the town's Fusi, so he asked a few close thousand households and deputy thousand households, and when he visited the city, he would take a look at where those people often go and who they associate with, and whether there is any evil of eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. Row.

After several investigations, there were two more candidates who were not good at reading, and who liked to secretly go to weathering occasions. Only the last three candidates were left to Cui Xie: one was an old neighbor of the Cui family, who had followed Cui Xie's true teacher Mr. Lin has studied An Tongsheng, one is Cui Xie’s younger brother, Yue Lin, a classmate at the Imperial College, and the other is Cui Xie’s nephew of Wang Jinshi in the same year.

Cui Xie took the time to find two fellow villagers to ask about An Tongsheng's situation, and personally went to spy on the remaining two people, drew a portrait and showed it to Sister Yun, asking her to pick out the ones she liked.

Sister Yun was so embarrassed that she could hardly speak, but she still stretched her hand accurately to the most handsome one-it was Wang Zuo's nephew of the same year.

Well, it's his sister, her own.

Choi Xie rolled up the portrait and went to ask for a matchmaker.

If it was set aside before the return of the old Yin Ge, their marriage was decided by a mentor, and nothing was impossible, but now they can only ask Teacher Li to help with the conversation, and ask the seniors to be a matchmaker at the Hanlin Academy.

Cui Xiuzhuan can't get married, and marrying a girl is considered a major event in life. How can seniors care about it? It is rare for Xu Xueshi, who is in charge of the school, to let them go. Several people who volunteered to be big matchmakers left the office ahead of time and went to meet Wang Zuo's family who was an ambassador at the Ministry of Industry for Cui Xie.

In fact, Wang Zuo didn’t know these prime ministers at all, and he didn’t realize that he suddenly had some old work that made them look at him. Seeing that several adults were rather restrained, they greeted everyone into the house and ordered tea. What is good to say.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "I wonder if Ambassador Wang has a single-named nephew? I'm here to say a kiss for Master Xun." This is the champion of this section, your sister Cui Xiu in the same year, your family Maybe not!

A champion... the girl came into their home for nothing, and the matchmaker was the Hanlin prime minister, the teacher of the emperor, Wang Zuo asked dizzyly: "Cui Zhuangyuan’s family is very precious and has a boundless future. Naturally, some of his sisters are demanding. Marry, how did you pick my nephew?"

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "It was his brother who wanted to marry his younger sister to Wang Da's family. However, it is difficult for their female family to take the initiative to ask for a kiss, so they asked us to give you a message. If your family is interested, you can send a matchmaker. Come on."

Intentionally, intentionally! It's a pity that it is not to marry his son. You have to talk to your elder brother and sister-in-law. If he has such a big son, he will have to marry Cui Xie if he doesn't say anything!

Several adults talked about Confucian Classics for a while, drank enough matchmaker tea, and then left together with a smile. Wang Zuo sent them outside the gate, and when he got home, he hurried to the upper courtyard where his eldest brother lived. After entering the door, he grabbed his elder brother’s robe and shouted, “Brother, brother has a good relationship to say to be a nephew with his son!”

His elder brother and nephew almost frightened him with excitement, but Wang Zuo ignored his appearance, and no longer gasped and said, "I want to ask my nephew for the first prize in this section, Cui Xie, the sister of Cui Xie, and Cui Hezhong. I hope my brother will allow me. !" Without waiting for the eldest brother to ask anything, he said directly to his young and handsome nephew: "Cui Zhuangyuan was born with a pure and clear jade, and he and my nephew are born with a talented and talented girl, a match made in heaven!"

Brother Wang looked straight at his younger brother, and he thought for a while before he figured it out clearly-Cui Zhuangyuan was born with a clear and jelly jade, so his younger sister is also good-looking, and his son is a natural match with a talented girl, right?

Although the Wang family knew about the big drama that the Cui family's wife made in those years, the woman was abandoned long ago. Now there is Cui Xie, the favored chief of the Hanlin in the palace, which is different from the original situation. The Wang family discussed the matter several times, and Wang Zuo took his father and brothers to secretly see the Cui family uncle. After returning, the family had nothing to say and sent the matchmaker to the door to marry Sister Yun.

Choi Xie was away during the day, and the old lady and Mr. Song hosted the matchmaker. In fact, the old lady still thought of writing to her son, asking him to be the master, but Cui Xie was afraid that there would be many dreams in the night, so she deceived her to be the master of the Hanlin Academy to take the initiative to match, if he does not agree, he may hinder his future.

He persuaded the old lady: Anyway, this is a good marriage. There are grandparents in the family, and the father can't disagree if he knows it.

The old lady didn't understand the court affairs, but she remembered that her son was sent to Yunnan only after he hadn't gotten a good official, for fear that the grandson would follow in his son's footsteps. So when the matchmaker came, she clapped on behalf of her son and booked the marriage for her granddaughter that should have been decided by her parents.

Sister Yun’s aunt heard about this and held her daughter in the backyard and wept with joy: "My son, I have been worried that you would ask your wife to do favors like Sister Jiao, but now I feel relieved! Your brother is not a seller of your sister. , My son will depend on it for life..."
